Megoldás. Ha \(\displaystyle n\ge 7\), akkor a skatulye-elv miatt lesz két olyan dobás, mik egyenlőek, azaz \(\displaystyle P(n\ge 7)=1\).

Másrészről \(\displaystyle P(n\le 1)=0\).

Ha \(\displaystyle 2\le n\le 6\), akkor annak a valószínűsége, hogy minden dobás különböző \(\displaystyle \frac{6!}{(6-n)!6^n}\), azaz annak a valószínűsége, hogy lesz két egyforma \(\displaystyle P(2\le n\le 6)=1-\frac{6!}{(6-n)!6^n}\). Ez az egyes esetekben: \(\displaystyle P(n=2)=\frac 16\), \(\displaystyle P(n=3)=\frac 49\), \(\displaystyle P(n=4)=\frac{13}{18}\), \(\displaystyle P(n=5)=\frac{49}{54}\), \(\displaystyle P(n=6)=\frac{319}{324}\).
